Well... After more than a month and numerous (more than 20) requests I have finally decided that writing one last blog about my mission will not actually take that many of my oh so important endless Netflix watching hours. I will be honest when I say that I am not quite sure what I am supposed to be writing. Some have asked for what I learned on my mission, others for my favorite experiences, and then there are those who ask for my advice. I feel flattered knowing that people actually read and kept up with this during the last few months of my life. I know there were times when I would not write for a few weeks, but rest assured that everything that I shared is what I thought was important. I think that as a missionary it is not necessary to share everything that we go through. A lot of experiences are deeply personal and not meant for public reading. Now that I am home I am very glad that I kept a journal, because even though it has only been a month some of the memories seem like distant dreams and I can only relive them through reading my journal. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I learned a lot on my mission. I wont write your usual cliche "I just got home and nobody can understand until they serve a mission" blog because those are things that everyone already has very present. As much as I want you all to understand and as much as you all want to understand, there is no way for me to convey the fire that burns in my chest, and the tears that come to my eyes every now and then just thinking about Costa Rica and the most amazing people that live there. My personal opinion is that I am a fairly decent writer however I know that I will never be able to express my feelings in a way that you can understand so I will just refrain from trying. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are a few things that I would like to address. The first being a few things that I learned on my mission. Things that I learned about myself as well as things that I learned about my Savior. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>I learned</u></b> that it is okay to be imperfect. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>I learned</u></b> that it is okay to show your emotions, before my mission I prided myself on being a closed book and not letting anyone see how I was truly feeling. If you had the chance to see the real me before my mission I would consider you very lucky. I tried on a daily basis to make it seem like I didn't have any feelings. Everyone has feelings, and it is okay and good to let others see that. It is okay to cry... Maybe it is not the prettiest sight, however, nobody cares if you are an ugly crier or a pretty crier. The important part is that you are feeling and that makes you human. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>I learned</u></b> that if we do our best, Christ will make up the difference. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>I learned</u></b> that I can not make everyone love me or even like me, so I shouldn't try because it is exhausting and to no avail. HOWEVER, I can love everyone. There are plenty of people in this world who do things that I don't approve of, or things that get under my skin, but that doesn't mean that Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ love them any less than they love me. I think that a lot of times we feel as if because our sins are less visible to the world than other peoples that we are somehow better in the eyes of God, but in all reality, our Father in Heaven wants the people that we think we are better than back in his Heavenly home just as much as he wants us there, if not more. <b>Luke 15:7 "I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance." </b>I am not saying that is is easy to love everyone or that I have mastered that skill, all I am saying is that is it possible. It is something that I personally and still working on, and I will be working on it for the remainder of my life, but that is just it... don't stop trying. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>I learned</u></b> not to judge people. Especially if we do not know them. How can we possibly form an opinion of someone based solely on things that we have heard other people say. While on my mission I had the opportunity to serve in the 2 best missions in the world with the 2 best mission presidents. About a year into my mission, my first mission president (President Wilkinson) and his family finished their service in Costa Rica and went home. The mission was divided and we received 2 new mission presidents. I was assigned to serve on the west side of the country in la mision Costa Rica San Jose Oeste with Presidente Laboriel. It is a small country and obviously people talk and we hear everything that other people say. A lot of people from the other half of the country seemed to think that our president was too strict and that the rules he made were too harsh and that he ran the mission like the military. It saddened most of us in the west mission to think that people thought that about our most amazing president. Actually, on Wednesday I went to an institute class and ran into a lot of people that I served with (probably because President Wilkinson teaches the class). I ran into a few who ended up on the east side of the mission and one of the missionaries that I served with asked me what I thought of Presidente Laboriel and when I said "I love him so much" he looked at me and said "well I am glad that you like him" and started laughing. My first reaction was to say something, but then I bit my toung and just thought to myself, how is it possible that these people can form such a low opinion of a man that they have never even met. My 2 mission presidents were and are very different. I learned from both of them. Things very different but never anything that conflicted with the other's advice.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>I learned</u></b> that following rules and commandments is not the same as being perfect. In one interview with President Wilkinson, he asked if I was obedient and I hesitated to answer his question. He said "Hermana, I am not asking if you are perfect. I am asking if you are obedient." I think that is kind of when it hit me that I don't have to be perfect because I cant do that. What I have to do is try as hard as I can. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now I know that this has been rather long winded however there is one other thing that I would like to talk about for just a quick second. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I<b><u> learned</u></b> that living with no regrets is a whole lot easier than we as humans generally make it out to be. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A few days ago I had someone ask me what I would like to go back and change and when I responded nothing she proceeded to ask me "If you could serve another mission, right now, would you?" There may be people who do not agree with my answer so I hope that you will take it with a grain of salt, but my answer was a simple "no". My thoughts on the other hand were a lot different. They answer was and is no. However, the reason behind that no is not "because it was hard" or "because I have things to do" or "because I cant handle leaving my friends and family again" because all of those things do not really matter. The reason that my answer is no is pretty simple actually. It is because I did everything. I gave my whole self to the Lord. I promised him 18 months and that is what I gave him. Not 18 months of me breaking rules and complaining when I didn't have results, and not 18 months of me being the perfect missionary, but 18 months of me trying my hardest to do what he wanted me to do. 18 months of doing my best. I know that the Lord is happy with my service as a missionary, and not just because my mission president told me so in my last interview, but because I can feel it. He is happy with what I have given him, because despite popular cynic belief in today's society, YOUR BEST IS GOOD ENOUGH. It is not good enough to get you into heaven, that is why we have the atonement and repentance, but it is good enough for our Heavenly Father. If we actually do our best, then we will have no regrets and Christ will make up the difference. Actually, he already made up the difference. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am entirely grateful for the opportunity that I had to serve a mission. I thought at the beginning that I would be the exception to the rule that the mission changes you and that I would come home the same person that I was before, but I guess we all get surprises that we don't expect. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am not perfect, but I am trying to do my best daily and I invite each of you to do the same. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are a million more things that I could write. I spent 520 days serving the people and the God that I love, obviously I have a lot more to say than I can possibly write down.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love my Heavenly Father and I love my Savior. I know that my redeemer lives and that he loves me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thank you all for caring about me and my experiences, it really means a lot. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have a wonderful week. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With love, </div>

Its been a long time coming and I have to be honest when I say that I am not quite sure how I feel. Its kind of a bag of mixed emotions. I almost don't know what to say. Actually that is a lie. I don't know what to say. </span></span><br />
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I feel like my world has been turned upside down. I feel like I cant quite understand whats going on.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When I was in the MTC one of our teachers told us something that I am starting to understand. He said that "You cant slow down time, but at the end of your mission you are going to want nothing more than to try." As this last week starts I am praying now more than ever that time will go by slowly. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I could say a million and one things and they would all be cliche because every missionary that is finishing says the same thing. So I wont say anything. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">All I am going to say is that I will miss this country and these people more than you can imagine. The love that I have for these people is something I don't know how to describe and that until one feels it will never be able to understand. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As my time here comes to a close I have started to reflect back on the person that I was when I started the mission and the person that I have grown to become. I think that I am a better person. I guess we will find out. haha</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I know this church is true. I know the God lives. I know he loves me. I am positive that one day I will be standing by his side in the Celestial Kingdom. I have a testimony that can not be shaken of the prophet Joseph Smith. I know that Thomas S. Monson is a living prophet of God. I love the Book of Mormon. I love this gospel. I am glad to know that if I work hard I will be able to be with my family forever. This gospel is a blessing and a gospel of happiness. It is the best way to be happy in this world that has gone crazy.Pray, read your scriptures, and do the little things.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I love you all, and I will see you soon. </span></div>

We haven't worked in 2 whole weeks and I was starting to get really upset. I was thinking things like ''I am a missionary'' ''I have things to do.'' ''I don't have time for this.'' ''We have people to teach.'' ''Our area is now a disaster.'' ''There are no investigators.'' along with plenty of other things. People keep telling me to calm down, and to just be patient. Those of you who know me well, know that patience is not my strong point. While I have doubtlessly gown a lot in that area as a result of daily missionary trials, I am still working on my patience level. </span></span><br />
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> However I remembered a mormon message that I have always loved and I am now repenting for questioning the will of the Lord. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have learned a lot in these last few weeks and I feel like I am a stronger person because of it. We have to learn from our trials. It is the most important thing that I have learned in these past few weeks. To learn from everything that happens to us. There is a plan. It is a perfect plan. The Lord's plan. He is perfect and his planning skills are better than ours. Trust in him. He will save you. Let him mold you into who He wants you to be. </span></div>

<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">Hello, this is my new companion. She is great! I have known her for a while not and honestly had no idea that we would ever be companions. It never even crossed my mind, so when the Zone Leaders called last night and told me that she would be my companion I got really excited!</span></span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Her name is Hermana Dubon and she is from guess where..... Honduras! </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My 4th companion from there! I have got to visit that country sometime. Haha Also, Elder Gonzales decided that he wanted to be in the foto jaja so he just kind of jumped in. Hes real great. He is going to be our new district leader. He is also from... Honduras! haha everyone is from there. So yeah, this is my new little! I like her a lot and I'm real excited to work with her. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">

<div style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We had a baptism <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1847703096" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Saturday</span></span>. Her name is Melissa and she was turning 8. Her mom isn't a member but her sister is. We made her a cake and it was so adorable to see how excited she was to be able to be baptized. I am not going to post pictures because I don't have permission from her mom and she is really little so I don't want to do anything that could offend her parents. haha even though we are really good friends its better to be safe than sorry. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">However here is a foto of the Hermana Chavez and I making her cake before the baptism. </span></div>

Being a missionary is one of the best things life has to offer you. Sure there are trials but teaching people about Gods love for them, the restored gospel and that you can be a family for ever are the best days of my life now!</span><br />
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am still alive and loving it here. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have been with my same companion but yesterday we got a phone call that we have emergency changes. My companion is headed to Liberia, Guanacaste! I sure am going to miss her. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I don't have much to say other than that I read a talk this week that I liked a lot. It is on enduring to the end. There was a phrase that I liked a lot. something like this " sometimes people tell us to hang in there. But to hang in there is not a principal of the gospel" it was really something that made me stop to think a minute. There is a rather large difference in hanging in there and enduring to the end.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Just think about it. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Not much time left!<br />I love you all!</span></div>

<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I was reading a talk this week and I liked this quote</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"Many of the things you can count, do not count. Many of the things you cannot count, really do count" </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Think about it for a minute!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So this was my life for the week. I love my area. I love my mission!<br />Have a great week!</span></div>

Thank you for teaching me all you know and helping me become who I am today. Nest I want to say Happy Mother's Day to the best Lala ever. I love you so very much.

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So this week I realized exactly how out of tune we as missionaries are with everything that happens in the world.</span></span><br />
<div>
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I recently discovers that Donald Trumph is a presidential candidate and I about passed out !!! HAHA</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I discovered that one direction are now men... I remember little boys. Its crazy how much can change in just one year. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This week I learned lots of things. I learned what Pega is. It's basically food poising. But when you get it, the lymph nodes in your arm swell and if you get a weird arm massage that hurts really bad, it goes away in like an hour but if not you are stuck with it for about 2 weeks or until you go pay 1 dollar and get your arm massaged. I thought it wasn't going to work so I made the Elder who told me to go pay for it, and it hurt so badly. I got a bruise, but I felt so so so much better afterword. Weird right? I think I am going to learn how to do it so that when I have children and they are sick I can do it to them so they can never have a reason to skip school. haha</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">However, this week I had a few other things that I wanted to share. First, I was reading in 2 Nephi 10 this week and I really liked a few of the verses and things that I learned. Why on earth do people fight against God? We all know who is going to win at the end of it all and if we aren't on God´s team it will not be us. </span></div>

<div>
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It is rather clear, I think. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I also really liked verse 23 </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px;">

<div>
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Isn't</span><span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> is great that we are free to choose for ourselves??</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We get to choose our actions but never the consequences. However, we usually know what the consequences are before making a choice and then when we make the wrong choice we do out best to avoid them and then get upset when things don't work out in our favor. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Just a thought.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I was also reading a conference talk that made a large impression on my heart/mind. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It is called <a href="https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2015/04/the-music-of-the-gospel?lang=eng" target="_blank">The Music of The Gospel</a>. I have even been kind enough to insert a clickable link so that you can all read it. I promise that it will change your life. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The part that called my attention the most was... well the whole thing. But I really like how he talks about that we can teach people how to live the gospel but if they never feel like they have gained a testimony or if they never do their part to receive that testimony then it is really for nothing because there will come a day when they keep doing the things just because everyone does them and it is all that they know or they will stop all together. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Also, that we as people who have already felt this great burning fire that nobody knows how to explain, we have to remain worthy to keep feeling it. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In Alma <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1866062922" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">5:26</span></span> it says:<span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span><b style="font-size: 13px;"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.00784314); font-size: 18px; line-height: 25.2000007629395px;">And now behold, I say unto you, my brethren, if ye have experienced a </span><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.00784314); font-size: 18px; line-height: 25.2000007629395px;">change</span><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.00784314); font-size: 18px; line-height: 25.2000007629395px;"> of heart, and if ye have felt to sing the </span><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.00784314); font-size: 18px; line-height: 25.2000007629395px;">song</span><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.00784314); font-size: 18px; line-height: 25.2000007629395px;"> of redeeming love, I would ask, </span><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.00784314); font-size: 18px; line-height: 25.2000007629395px;">can</span><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.00784314); font-size: 18px; line-height: 25.2000007629395px;"> ye feel so now?</span></b></span></div>

Pictures two weeks in a row!<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Okay family! I don't have much time but I have lots of things that I wanted to say! First of all Limon is now officially a Stake as of yesterday and Guanacaste as of 2 weeks ago!!! To see the fulfilment of all of the efforts in those 2 places makes me so so so happy! I love Limon and Guanacaste with all of my heart and I cried last week and yesterday when I realized that they are now stakes. </span></span><br />
<div>
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Also, yesterday in church a sister gave a talk and it impacted me a whole bunch. She said, YOU CANT LOVE WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW. It makes a whole lot of sense. If we don't know our Heavenly Father and our Savior, we cant love them. So we have to do the thing that are necessary to get to know them so that we can love them in the way that they love us. </span></div>

<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here are some photos! Have a great Week!</span></div>

<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here is my adorable Mexican churro! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Her name is Hermana Gutierrez and I love her a whole bunch! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">She is 19 and she would like to say a big ole HOLA to everyone!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Ah bueno, yesterday we had the coolest thing ever happen. The elders gave us a reference of a single lady and her kids about a week ago and we could never find her, but yesterday we went to go look for her and she was finally home. So when we got there we just kind of started talking to her and she was telling us about how she is a widow and all of these sad things and then she goes "I want to get baptized, I need to get baptized" now, for those of you who don't know, we invite everyone to baptism during the first visit, but this was BEFORE we even started teaching. Then when we invited her to baptism, she just started crying and said "yes, please" and it was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. Her sister is actually a member and she has been to church with her sister a few times but in a different ward. It just goes to show that The Lord is preparing people to receive his gospel all over the world. We never know when someone is ready or willing, and as members of the church it is our responsibility to share with everyone.</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Its been a while since I have last written to everyone. I have been super busy and I hope that you can all forgive me. I love you all so much.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">New things:</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I had changes, I'm in Ojo de Agua. Its actually a little bit confusing. My area is part of a provincia Alajuela, but in everything that has to do with the church it is part of Heredia. So my area is actually in San Rafeal de Alajuela, but its called Ojo de Agua, heredia. Interesting. It is still taking me some time to get used to. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I was really, really, REALLY sad to leave Santa Cruz. I love that place so so so much and all of the people there. I know that Presidente Zeledon is going to read this so I just wanted to say that I love you and thank you so much for everything. You guys are the greatest. :)</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I cried a whole bunch leaving. I honestly thought that it was a joke when my zone leader called to tell me that I had changes. I honestly did not believe him. But then he told me that it was real and I got really, really sad. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">However, I love my new area. It is cold. Well, colder than any other place that I have been this past year of my life. haha The people are super loving and welcoming. I don't have hot water. its super cold and the water is super cold. but i have heard it is good for your skin and hair so I guess it works out well. hahaThe son of Bishop Crawford (from Guacimo) is in my ward so it makes me feel right at home. Also, I share an area with Elder Dale again, so its pretty much like we are living in Guacimo but in a rather large city now. I am also in the same district as Hermana Walfield so I get to see her every <span class="" data-term="goog_344968299" tabindex="0">monday</span> and every <span class="" data-term="goog_344968300" tabindex="0">tuesday</span>. So Exciting! Also, fun fact, after not seeing the temple for more than 6 months, I get to see it every <span class="" data-term="goog_344968301" tabindex="0">monday</span> and <span class="" data-term="goog_344968302" tabindex="0">tuesday</span> and it makes me the happiest person on planet earth.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I was going to send lots of pictures but I didnt bring my camera cable and there is just one problem... I can't stick my memory card directly into the computer in this place and I didn't know that. So I have no way of sending photos this week. But I have lots that I wanted to send. oops. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This week I passed the 1 year mark in the missinon. How old am I? Wow. I can NOT believe that I have been here this long. Its crazy.We bought pizza to celebrate. :)</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My companion is Hermana Gutierrez. She is Mexican and adorable. She only has about 2 and a half months in the mission so she is still a little shy but she is so ready to work and is super excited to learn new things. I love her a whole bunch and I am really excited to be able to work with her. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Well, thats all for now. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I will send some pictures next week, if I can find my camera cord. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Have a great week. Remember that you are loved.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here is a photo of mission San Jose Costa Rica with our president Wilkinson and his family. I feel so honored and privileged to have been able to work along side him and learn from him. It is definitely sad to see him go. </span></div>

<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have learned so much from President and Sister Wilkinson and I am so thankful for them. Seriously I love them. </span></div>

<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Also, this week I was able to see a lot of miracles. I realized that in the very last hour of the day, when we feel down, are tired, hot, and nobody has wanted to talk to us all day long, that is when you can see the biggest miracles. We found a family and it was at first just the mom and her 2 daughters but then her husband came out and told us that he is a member. He has been inactive for 16 years because when he moved he didn't know where the church was then then started working on Sundays but was praying this past week to be able to go back. They have went to church the past 3 Sundays and they really really enjoy it. The mom and her 2 daughters are preparing for their baptism and the dad is preparing to be able to baptize them. It is so beautiful. </span></div>

<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This week was full of miracles and funny experiences too. We had a baptism <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_664908878" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Saturday</span></span> so we were inviting the girls brother, who is a member, and I told him that he should wear long pants (becuase I have only ever seen him in basketball shorts) and he said, "I dont know... long pants are for when I go out, you know, on special ocasions" hahahaha and I just started to die laughing because he was talking seriously. It was really really funny. He went to the baptism... and he went in long pants! It was such a supprise but so cool to see. He has been inactive for more than 10 years so we have been working with him while we are teaching his sister and they have both been progressing really really well. It is so cool to be able to see the progress in people. I love it so so much!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here is a picture of the baptism. She is such an inspirational person and I can't even believe the story that she has lived at only 21 years old. But she is a trooper and has such a strong testimony. It is incredible!</span></div>

<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sooo... Today we had changes. Well my beloved companion Hermana garica had changes. Its pretty sad. I love her so so much and I feel so privilaged to have been able to work along side her. I know that I am better because of it and that this area is better because she was here. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My new companion is Hermana Diaz. She has actually been here in this area for about 6 weeks already. She is super great. They closed her half of the area and put elders there so our 2 companions left and we are now companions. Its pretty exciting. She is from Mexico and is super fun. I am excited to work with her and I know that we are going to be able to do lots and see lots of miracles. </span></div>

<div>
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I love you all. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Something that I learned this week is that when we are in Sacrement Meeting or any meeting in the church we should use BOOKS. REAL BOOKS. Not our smart phones and not any other tablets or anything like that. It takes away from the sacred nature of the reunion. Its way true. I never really thought about it before but its so so true. My Seminary teacher Sister Murphy said it once, but I didn't really understand what she meant. Now I get it Sister Murphy <3. You were right all along. </span></div>

I would like to start with an embarrassing experience of the week. The other day we went to the store to buy some food to cook for lunch. It is like a corner store so its not that far. So when we got there, my loving companion starts laughing and tells me that my zipper on my skirt is wide open, so I'm like okay, ill just shut it, then i realize that the zipper is not open, that is has broken and i cant shut it. So I just untucked my shirt. That wasn't the bad part, the bad part is that when we were walking up the driveway to our house I stepped in a diaper full of baby poop and it smeared everywhere. It was gross but I just kind of laughed it off. </span></span><br />
<div>
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It is something that I have been working on here these past few weeks. If it isn't going to effect me in the long run of life, there isn't really a reason to get mad about it. It might suck in the moment, but in reality, stepping in a poopy diaper is not going to change my life in some terrible and unalterable way. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Next I would like to share a picture of a wasp nest invasion that we had. The build their nest on the bottom of a light bulb on the patio and so when I turned on the light to wash some clothes they got really really angry and tried to kill me. So I slammed the door shut and screamed for a good 5 minutes. The worst part was that all of my underclothes were hanging on the line drying and the started to land on those and oh it was terrible, I was just standing inside watching from a window. In the morning they had all gone. But when we got back from the store, the same time that I stepped in the diaper, I went outside to wash my shoes in the sink outside and they had come back!!! So I quickly and courageously pulled all of my clothes inside and then slammed the door shut again and called the elders freaking out. My companion was really calm, but I thought that I might die. She gets that way when we see a scorpion in the house. So the elders came over with plastic bags on their heads and killed them with soapy water, but it took about 20 minutes worth of planning to figure out what to do. It was a good laugh at the end of it all. </span><div class="a6S" dir="ltr" style="opacity: 0.01; position: absolute;">

<div>
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Obviously we couldn't do anything to help them because we cant be in our house at the same time as them so we just stood outside the front door, laughed, and took pictures. It was a good time. </span></div>

<div>
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Next I would like to share a funny experience.. I was on divisions and we visited a lady who has been a member for a really long time. We asked her the very simple question, "Who appeared to Joseph Smith?" and she thinks for quite a while and then responds rather slowly but firmly, "Moses". I almost died. I don't think I have ever had to control my laughter like that in my whole situation. I'm pretty sure it was the funniest thing I have heard thus far. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The next thing that I would like to share is a spiritual experience that we had with one of our investigators named Gandy. I love her and her family so much. Remember the guy that we celebrated with a cake when he lost his job? Its his wife. So we were having a lesson with just her and we invited her to pray again and ask if the Book of Mormon is true and she just gets really quiet and says with such assurity, " I don't need to pray again, I am completely sure that it is true. It is impossible that any man could write a book of this capacity.I know for sure that this is all write"</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It just confirmed my testimony once again that this is where I need to be and the The Lord is preparing people every day and in every part of this earth to be ready to receive this gospel. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I love this work, I know that this is the Lord's work. I know that this is the Lord's church. I know that my Redeemer lives. I know that He loves me. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I love all y'all.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #76a5af; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #76a5af; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I hope that all is going well back in the motherland. Here in the most beautiful country on earth all is going rather well. I feel happy. I know I haven't been writing very much here recently and honestly I do feel badly however, I just don't feel like I have time. But today I decided that a longer email was in order so here we go. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #76a5af; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">To start of and capture your attention, I will tell a funny story. We had divisions and so I was on a bus to another area with my companion for the day. We have to start our studies at 8 so we took the bus from my area at 7 to get to the other area at 7:30 to be able to start our studies on time. Well about halfway through the bus ride the bus starts going really, really, slowly, and then all of a sudden it just stopped. Then it turns off and the bus driver says, "Its broken, everyone get off" and I am like WHAT? So we all get off and make a line on the side of the road in the middle of no where waiting on the bus driver to try and fix the bus. He finally gets it fixed and we get going but at the pace of a turtle, then it stopped and turned off again about 5 minutes later. So we all had to wait again. In the end we got to the other area around 8:45is. The bus ride that usually takes about a half hour was almost 2 hours long. At least it wasn't hot. And we had the opportunity to talk to a whole lot of people on the bus with us. So that was fun. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #76a5af; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I also just wanted to go ahead and share my testimony of how powerful this gospel is in the lives of every single person who is willing to accept it and learn from it. I have seen the lives of countless people change just because they were willing to open their hearts and the doors of their house to listen to the gospel of Jesus Christ. This gospel changes people. I cant express enough how much that I love this gospel. I always said that I would never be one of those missionaries that sounded cliche when they talked about their mission and sounded like a super Jesus freak when they talked, but now I couldn't care less if someone thinks that I am a Jesus freak. Yo <span aria-haspopup="true" class="J-JK9eJ-PJVNOc" data-g-spell-status="2" id=":o5.9" role="menuitem" tabindex="-1">amo</span> mi <span aria-haspopup="true" class="J-JK9eJ-PJVNOc" data-g-spell-status="2" id=":o5.10" role="menuitem" tabindex="-1">Señor</span> y no <span aria-haspopup="true" class="J-JK9eJ-PJVNOc" data-g-spell-status="2" id=":o5.11" role="menuitem" tabindex="-1">tengo</span> <span aria-haspopup="true" class="J-JK9eJ-PJVNOc" data-g-spell-status="2" id=":o5.12" role="menuitem" tabindex="-1">vergüenza</span> a <span aria-haspopup="true" class="J-JK9eJ-PJVNOc" data-g-spell-status="2" id=":o5.13" role="menuitem" tabindex="-1">compartirlo</span> con <span aria-haspopup="true" class="J-JK9eJ-PJVNOc" data-g-spell-status="2" id=":o5.14" role="menuitem" tabindex="-1">los</span> <span aria-haspopup="true" class="J-JK9eJ-PJVNOc" data-g-spell-status="2" id=":o5.15" role="menuitem" tabindex="-1">demás</span>. I know that my Savior lived, and died, and lives again for me. I know that the message of this gospel is exactly what every single person that will ever see the face of planet earth needs to be happy not just in this life but in the life to come. It's not too hard to do what The Lord asks of us.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #76a5af; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I love this country and I love these people. I will be really honest, before I came on the mission I did have a testimony, I wouldn't have come had I not. But I came on the mission not knowing exactly what I was getting myself into. I never imagined that I would be able to have a testimony as strong as I do now. I feel like the love I have for this gospel sometimes might make my heart explode. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #76a5af; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here are some photos to make sure none of you forget what I look like.</span></div>

This week has been rather interesting. We had interviews with President Wilkinson and that was so wonderful. After having that interview I usually just feel really drained spiritually. </span></span><br />
<div>
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This week has been full of miracles and I am so pleased to be able to share with you the photo of the most surprising baptisms that I have had to date. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">His name is Antonio but he calls himself Samuari... Hes pretty hilarious. He was going to get baptized, but then he went on vacation to Guadalupe for a few weeks and we thought that he was never going to come back. But he magically came home <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1218950739" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Wednesday</span></span> so <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1218950740" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Thursday</span></span> we went to go visit him and we asked him what he was going to to <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1218950741" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Sunday</span></span> and he goes, "I'm going to church, and I'm going to bring my white underwear so that I can get baptized" and we were like oh my gosh!!!! What blessing! It was seriously the coolest thing ever. This man is wonderful, truly one of the Lords chosen people. When we talked about the Book of Mormon he read only 2 verses and started to cry and said that this book is something marvelous and I love it, thank you for helping me find it. Also, when we explained the priesthood and the keys and what not he asked who holds the keys, and when we told him the prophet he goes " I need to get me a copy of them keys" It was the coolest thing ever when we told him that he would soon have his own pair. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So we called up the district leader and that we needed him to come to a lesson with us but when he got there we just told him to chat and then Antonio asks him "Can you give me a baptismal interview? i would like to get baptized <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1218950742" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">tomorrow</span></span>" the look on his face was priceless. So he did it. Then we told him not to tell the Zone Leaders because we wanted it to be a surprise. So <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1218950743" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Saturday</span></span> we had the baptism and then in the night time we called them and told them that we had a huge miracle to share with them and they were like what is it? So when we told them that "today we had a baptism" they almost peed their pants. It was wonderful!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So here is the picture. This is all I have time to write! I love you all!</span></div>

The husband lost his job and now he doesn't have to work on Sundays and is really excited to be able to come to church again, so we celebrated. Haha I'm pretty sure that I will never again celebrate when someone looses their job, but it was their idea and who wants to turn down someone excited to come back to church!

I love the people here and doing the Lords work. Teaching people about the gospel of Jesus Christ is such a blessing. Reach out to someone today and invite them to church.

Its just that there will be no blog today because I spent my entire hour and a half trying to enter my mission portal to be able to write President Wilkinson.
I am happy.
I saw lots of miracles this week. I can see the hand of the Lord in so many ways in this area and I am so happy that I have the blessing and privilege to be here, I love my companion and my whole mission! It's not always easy but its worth it. The trials are building blocks the Lord gives us because He believes in us and Loves each and everyone of us!
I love you all!

One wedding I get to go to and one I don't.<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So I decided to send some photos and a few thoughts that I have.<br /></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My first thought is that thank you all so much for your prayers. I am so glad that I have some many people on my side. As I am sure you have all been informed I was a little under the weather but I feel all better now, really I am. I love blessings and the power of Prayer! </span></span><br />

<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I was also wanting to comment on a rumor that I heard through the grapevine but then I thought id better not.=) See I am a good missionary</span></div>

<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So I wanted to say something different. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Two of my best friends are getting married this week and I am so happy for them! Congrats Rachelle and Josh! I wish you nothing but happiness and I am so glad to be able to call you both my friends!<br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I don't have much time left so I thought that I would just send some nice photos of the wedding that we had <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_618472313" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Saturday</span></span>. Everything turned out super pretty. I realized that you don't need a lot of money to have something nice. Everything we did turned out to be under 30 dollars. I mean the lawyer had to be payed for of course but the decorations and food were wonderful.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I love you all. You are wonderful! </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Remember that missionary work doesn't just depend on missionaries.We need your help too.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />Remember that Heavenly Father loves you.<br /><br />Remember that you are important!<br /> </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I recently finished reading the Book of Mormon and have gained a testimony ever stronger than it was before. I am now starting again and I am so excited for what I can learn.<br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The church is true, the book is blue.<br /></span></div>

<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So I am writing a tad bit late. We had to take care of some stuff so we didn't quite get to use all of our internet time but its all good. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I had quite a bit that I wanted to share but now I don't really remember what it all was. This week was full of miracles and I am literally on cloud nine. I am so happy and I love missionary work. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My mom sent me this quote from conference today and I super liked it so I wanted to share it with you all. </span></div>

<div>
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I wanted to share an embarrassing experience that I had this week. Its probably one of the best ones yet. So we are sitting on a bus, and its about an hour long bus ride, and we were about 25 minutes in and Hermana Garcia was talking to me about some wedding plans for <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_2094573009" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">this Saturday</span></span> so obviously I am paying a whole lot of attention. Well, our window is open but the curtain was pulled shut so you cant see outside or so the sun cant get inside and this gigantic tráiler comes by and honks right as it passes our window, and I screamed really loudly. At first I thought that nobody heard me because of how loud the truck horn was but then THE ENTIRE BUS started laughing... The whole bus. Not even one person was not laughing at me. I am positive that I turned red and I just kind of sunk down in my seat and died a little bit on the inside. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I don't have any pictures this week because we aren't in Santa Cruz and I didn't bring my camera cord with me to upload them. So actually I guess there are pictures, I just cant send them today. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This week has definitely been a testimony builder. I have been able to see The Lords hand in his work more times than I can count this week. I am incredibly and privileged to be a part of this great work. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Welp, that's really all I've got! </span></div>

Its the best thing! I was going to make a big list of things that stood out to me during conference but then I decided against it because really you should all just go read all of the talks and learn for yourself what the Lord wants of us today. </span></span><br />
<div>
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am honestly really really greaetful for the oportunity that we have to listen to conference and understand what our Heavenly Father and Savior Jesus Christ want to say to us hoy en día.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I was particuraly touched by the talk by Elder Russell M. Nelson sobre The Sabbath Day. This is something that people really just dont seem to understand. Or if they understand it they dont think that it is important. I am really glad for the sabbath day. Right now it is easy to keep it holy because I am a missionary, but when I get home I will definitly be changing a lot of things that I used to do on Sundays before I came on the mission. I didnt realize that they were not acceptable but now I understand fully the sabbath day I will be chaning quite a bit. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Various people asked me today how I feel about the fact that I am going to hit my halfway mark in the mission this week. I would like to share the following response. I have taken it as an excerpt from and email that I wrote to another one of my friends who so kindly did not remind me of how old I am getting in the mission. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I will hit my half way mark this week, and as I look back on it I dont understand where the time has gone. I feel like just yesterday I was balling my eyes out leaving your apartment for the last time. I love this place and these people so much. I could try and describe it with words but it isnt really possible. The undying love I have for these people is unreal. I have cried a lot, learned a lot more, and lost a lot of sleep that I will never be able to get back. I come home tired every single day, my feet hurt, my back is out of place, and I have had cold water thrown at me, lemons thrown at me, and the cat calls that come just because I am white and think I dont understand are unreal. With that being said, I wouldnt change a second of it. I am not the person I was when I left. But more importantly I have seen the gospel change the lives of so many people in ways that are undescribable. I doubted if I really should have come from the seccond I got my mission call... untill about 3 weeks after I got here. I am more happy with this decision that I have been with any other decision I have ever made. This was the best decision I have ever made. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So that is my answer. I am sad to hit my halfway mark. I dont want it to come yet. I feel like I just got here, and I am not ready to leave. I still have a long way to go. So don´t ask me if I am "excited to come home beacuse I will almost be done" because my answer is no. I am not excited. I honestly dont even think about home that much. I dont think about what I will do when I get there. I am focused on my work, THE LORD'S WORK and I am happy doing it. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I learned how to make tortillas this week so I thought I would send a picture of my first ever tortilla. Because seeing as I am an expert not (haha) there probably wont be anymore ugly ones. </span></div>

<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So just one more thing before I go. Today in my personal study I was reading a talk in a Liahona by Elder Holland and he quoted something by someone that I dont remember who it was, but I really liked the quote. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"A mathematical sum incorrectly worked can be put right; but only by going back until you find the problem and then working it afresh from that point, never by simply going on. Evil can be undone, but it can never 'develop' into good. Time does not heal it. The spell must be undone."</span></b></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Marinate on that for a while. It gets ya thinking.</span></div>
